Time is on your side to get educated, comfortable with options, decide on your priorities, choose a path, and find the right professional to move your path forward. I do agree that all PSA information would be helpful, your GS is relatively low (some would argue that GS6 is good candidate for AS, but that depends if you are mentally conditioned for AS) but knowing the velocity of your PSA would help to learn what how the cells are multiplying. Remember that early detection equates to options, and you want options.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I don't have any problem at all knowing I have cancer, and therefore I think that I am mentally conditioned for AS, but I don't know if a little more growth of cancer cells, as would be expected, could represent a much higher risk of recovery if I have to get surgery a few months or years from now.
I'll keep studying about it for the next couple of weeks and when I feel that I understand more about my condition and possible outcomes, I'll go ahead with a decision.
It feels good to read someone's else advice. Again, thanks a lot.
